i was bored on I-4 between orlando and tampa. i had been driving for like 10 1/2 hours on my way from norfolk to tampa. i made a video but i dunno how to post it.

I hit 165 out by Big Bend National park in southwest Texas keeping up with a corvette. My car has never had a limiter or governer on it. I believe that there was a little more room to go too but that was enough speed for me, the front end gets a little squirrly at those speeds. Don't recommend trying this unless you are waaaaayyyy out in the middle of nowhere, and its long, straight and flat.

Next time please try reading my post before you respond.

BTW, I'm in Germany (NO SPEED LIMIT in many places) right now, and have been since '94.

i was not questioning legality or space.
i was questioning the amount of power it takes to overcome
drag....

still a lil skepticle on the 180 though.
anyone have proof?

LPE did 191 in with one of his 440HP motors in a LT1 based car... these cars are very NOT drag limited compared to many other "super cars". IE MB and BMW

wants2race69

in my 96 lt1 i hit 155+ kinda felt like i hit the limiter at ~157 so in an ls1 with anything at all i would say 162 wouldnt be hard to get

tye698

when i bought my 01 ss convertible i removed the dumb stuff the first day on the way home from the dealer with my hpp3. with top down i hit 171 with it up i hit 173 i could not get it to go any faster its an a4....if youve never been scared of speed....do it in a convertible.....lol

I was in my buddies 1994 Formula, and we were cruisin and as soon as we hit 110 mph, the top speed limiter kicked in, scared the **** out of us. I have done 155+ in my LS1. In my buddies heavily modded 2002 BMW M3, we have done 180+

I have heard from many people, its 163.33 is the rev, i have done 148, and that is enough for me, the fun factor leaves around 130.

The z with mods was capable of 160, but it didn't want to do anything after 155 (and the fact I was running out of straight road) so I backed it off at around 157-ish. Suprisingly, the fastest I've gone is in a 4 door 7 series BMW 12 banger. That thing didn't take forever to do it either, and it probably weighs a good 700+ over an f-car.

I think you would have no problem pulling 6th.

304mph might be pushing it.

Yeah, considering aero would be the limiting factor.

If 300 rwhp will propel you to 162, then you need approximately 1056 rwhp to get to 304. (Not that the body would hold up anyways. Wind resistance goes up squared to the speed.)

That puts a 572 rwhp capable of about 225 mph. And it takes about 450 rwhp to get to 200 mph.

i did about 130 on a heavy assed stock '89 ford super coupe w/5spd, so why wouldn't we believe a camaro could reach 170? its only 40mph more.
